Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Susan, VA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
